The event which is organised by the Niger Delta Young Professionals , is a sequel to the pioneer edition held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital in February last year.
A statement issued by the organisers of the summit led by the convener, Moses Siloko Siasia, said the Saturday’s event was aimed at consolidating on the gains of the inaugural edition. According to them, the event was timely and apt, and is needed to change the narrative of the Niger Delta, by strategically engaging the youths to dissuade their minds from violence, drug abuse, cultism, and other vices.While stressing that this kind of event was needed in the region, Mr Siasia harped that other states in the oil-rich region must now take a cue from states like Delta, Akwa Ibom and Edo in driving human capacity development.
The organisers also bemoaned that governments in the region were guilty of paying less attention to the youths and are more interested in awarding contracts, rather than building human capacity. “Even the success story of the Presidential Amnesty Programme has not been far reached because there is no well thought-out strategic evaluation process.
